Blocking the coming merger: Dr. Jerome Corsi, coauthor of the bestseller Unfit for Command, has written a valuable new book exposing the planned merger of the United States with Mexico and Canada.(The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada)(Book review)

The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada, by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., Los Angeles: World Ahead Media (a WND book), 2007, 241 pages, hardcover, $25.95

One of the most famous adages in the English language is, "You can't judge a book by its cover." This expression cautions us not to judge something based on what we may see on the surface, since what is on the inside or underneath may be very different. We should, therefore, take a closer or deeper look before deciding.

When the adage is used, it often has nothing to do with books. But it is sometimes used in reference to books, and it is certainly very apropos in the case of Dr. Jerome R. Corsi's latest work, The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada, because the title of the book suggests a foregone conclusion: defeat.

"The Late Great USA" implies that our beloved America has already passed away and therefore can no longer be resuscitated. "The coming merger" too hints at inevitability.

But Jerome Corsi is not a defeatist. In fact, the title notwithstanding, he has written a hopeful book. From the get-go, he makes clear that the "coming merger" can be avoided if the American people are informed as to what the elitists are planning. "I believe that an informed American public will fight to retain American sovereignty, rejecting the globalist determination to merge the United States, Mexico, and Canada on the way to a borderless 'free trade' world," he writes in his foreword.

Almost 200 pages later, in his conclusion, Corsi not only reiterates that America can still be saved but summarizes what informed Americans can and must do to retain American sovereignty: "Reject the SPP oppose the NAU, and say 'no' to NAFTA super corridors." Of course, Corsi's readers will know long before his concluding remarks that the "NAU" refers to the planned North American Union, and that "NAFTA" and "SPP" refer to the already-existing North American Free Trade Agreement and Security and Prosperity Partnership, both key parts of an unfolding plot to commit merger. And they will likely agree that rejecting the SPP opposing the NAU, and saying "no" to NAFTA--not just the super corridors but NAFTA itself--"are the steps we must take if we are to avoid a regional government along the lines of the European Union."
